The stained glass window depicts the handing over of the keys to Saint Peter by Jesus. The window is vertical and set into a round-arched bay. At the center of the window, Christ is standing, dressed in a red tunic and a yellow and green mantle, giving the keys of the Kingdom to a man kneeling at the bottom right, identifiable by his white hair and beard as Saint Peter the Apostle. This scene is directly inspired by the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, chapter 16, verses 18–19. At the top of the composition, God the Father, bearded and dressed in red and green, blesses the scene. In his left hand, he holds the globus cruciger (cross-bearing orb), while the dove of the Holy Spirit descends between him and Jesus. The whole is framed by charming Neo-Gothic decorative borders in vivid colors such as red, green, blue, and gold. Stylized floral motifs, vases, and candlesticks enrich the frame.The stained glass window depicts the handing over of the keys to Saint Peter by Jesus.
